Counselling in Exeter

How will just talking about stuff help me?

/ Saturday, September 1st, 2018

Even though counselling often involves you talking and me listening it is far more than that. Try it and see how you feel during and after sessions. You may feel invigorated, drained, or relieved in a way you never would after a casual chat with a friend. This is a complex subject but I have written more about how what counselling is and, in particular, how I work here.

Counselling is not a passive experience. When you talk about stuff you are also making new connections, processing memories, identifying and changing fundamental beliefs, accessing inner resources, discovering new options and much more. I also believe strongly that just the act of being full heard and understood by another human being can be fundamentally healing by itself.
